From the Paper:

"There are three major characteristics that effect a work environment: job satisfaction, communication and motivation. Job Satisfaction is the feeling reflecting the attitude employees have toward their job. It affects the mood employees have even before they set foot on the property of their workplace. If they are happy they come to work with a positive disposition even if their work may seem insurmountable. Employees who are not happy enter work with dread and displeasure--they could have no work and they would still be unhappy. Job satisfaction is one of the most crucial elements in managing employees (Greenberg 165-178)."
